Since 1977, former presidents and former vice presidents who are elected or re-elected to the Senate are entitled to the largely honorific position of [[President pro tempore of the United States Senate#Deputy president pro tempore|Deputy President pro tempore]]. To date, the only former vice president to have held this title is Hubert Humphrey. Also, under the terms of an 1886 Senate resolution, all former vice presidents are entitled to a [[United States Senate Vice Presidential Bust Collection|portrait bust]] in the Senate wing of the [[United States Capitol]], commemorating their service as presidents of the Senate. Dick Cheney is the most recently serving vice president in the collection.<ref>{{cite web|title=Senate Vice Presidential Bust Collection|website=senate.gov|url=https://www.senate.gov/art-artifacts/fine-art/sculpture/vp-busts.htm|publisher=Secretary of the Senate|location=Washington, D.C.|access-date=May 5, 2021|archive-date=March 18, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210318005322/https://www.senate.gov/art-artifacts/fine-art/sculpture/vp-busts.htm|url-status=live}}</ref>

Unlike former presidents, whose pension is fixed at the same rate, regardless of their time in office, former vice presidents receive their retirement income based on their role as president of the Senate.<ref>{{cite web |last=Adamczyk |first=Alicia |date=January 20, 2017 |title=Here's How Much Money Obama and Biden Will Get From Their Pensions |url=https://money.com/barack-obama-joe-biden-pension/ |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220312100107/https://money.com/barack-obama-joe-biden-pension/ |archive-date=March 12, 2022 |access-date=August 3, 2018 |publisher=Money.com}}</ref> Additionally, since 2008, each former vice president and their immediate family is entitled (under the Former Vice President Protection Act of 2008) to [[United States Secret Service|Secret Service]] protection for up to six months after leaving office, and again temporarily at any time thereafter if warranted.<ref>{{cite web|title=H.R.5938—Former Vice President Protection Act of 2008, 110th Congress (2007–2008)|url=https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/house-bill/5938|website=congress.gov|date=September 26, 2008|publisher=Library of Congress|location=Washington, D.C.|access-date=August 3, 2018|archive-date=January 9, 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210109172518/https://www.congress.gov/bill/110th-congress/house-bill/5938|url-status=live}}</ref>
